The only issue with Terminal 21 restaurants is that they tend to close fairly early...I took a GG there around 10ish and most places were winding down.

Did you give this some thought or was it on a whim?

I have walked past it many times ...always seemed a good option in a great location. Room lay out looks similar to Nana Hotel.

would that be A convenient place for the German beer garden ST action then SAG?

I had viral gastroenteritis many years ago in Chiang Mai...Those rehydration powders was a god send. Sorry to hear about your colleague. I have always been ok using Imodium short term and it is well accepted in the UK.

IMO Imodium is the best for standard shits, if it persists best to have a stool test done as it may be something that requires a coarse of medication. The eloctralite rehydration stuff they sell at the pharmacy are worth taking...don't be alarmed if it makes your piss go a weird colour!

Hmmm...bit camp for my taste, I will stick to the chang and JD!

As I have said before, staying at Nana Hotel, the only shame is walking through the foyer without a Ladyboy or GG on your arm! Life is too short to be concerned what others may think or say.

In truth, the immigration queue is probably not so bad...however, as I am standing there every single ounce of my being wants to be through customs, in the taxi, checking in the hotel and then finally getting some long awaited mongering action!

Any Hotel with worth it's salt will have an ID checking system for guests....The only Hotel I know that does not allow Ladyboys is The Grace which is Arab owned.

Great place to people watch....without meaning to put a damper on the restaurant critique..... they have to be some of the biggest street rats down there I have seen in BKK!

Yes, I can concur with you....had many a late night Shawarma there watching the seedy coming and going around the Grace Hotel. Have to be careful and not let the beer goggles let your down as those you would never normally give a second glance to suddenly start looking like Miss World!

Looks more the kind of place you would go as a group to eat or chill out...A solo Monger on his table for one might look a bit out of place.

I am pleased to hear that it is still around...Mekhong and coke was my default tipple 30 years ago...have to say I wouldn't swap it for Jack Daniels now! The krong Thip fags were bad but I remember doing the day trips across to Burma from Chiang Rai for cheap knock off European fags...the carton may have said Marlboro light but they tasted nothing like them...god only knows what it did to my lungs! * Fags is British slang for cigarettes for anyone confused!!

I asked for it back in January and was told that is not sold widely due to it's poor quality. Perhaps that is just the retailers choice and that it is still available, I have to say I can't remember seeing it for ages.

Appreciate the clarification SAG...I shall sleep easy!

SAG...Since when did a Dogs dinner become a Dogs breakfast?

Back in the day when I was a smoker I remember smoking a pack of krong Thip per day.....christ, they must have been three times the strength of Marlboro reds! Maybe they are now outlawed a bit like the Mekhong whiskey we used to drink as a poor man's alternative to JD and coke!

Who would be a smoker these days! £10 a packet in the UK! Can't see why there is an issue if smokers want to vape though, it actually smells ok.

If you guys keep posting about all these amazing places I may, just may, have to break the habit of a lifetime and ditch Nana Hotel for pastures new! My heart and soul (and various bodily fluids) have forever been entrenched in that place but....maybe it's time to start dining at the top table!

I also thought you never had time for a job OTS!

As you do..somethings are a must!

I don't know your age Knobby but that blood pressure and pulse is pretty damn good! If, and as you say, you eat well and exercise I would suggest there is not much else to worry about. As I said before, there will always be something to bite us on the arse and cause our demise so live for now! Get yourself a nice chicken green curry and a chang and have a think about who to bar fine tonight!

God bless the Thai ladies football team! It was only 3-0 at half time!

My nose is to the grind stone here in the UK saving my pennies...just seen what WildAries has been spending in CIB....god help us farang....the girls will be setting new benchmarks on our check bins!
